After his much anticipated "presidential run" fizzles like a cheap Chinese firecracker, be sure to follow his new RWNJ pundit career, ala Palin.


You sound like Karl Rove & David Dewhurst did, just a year and a half ago.

Any other possible pick ups for republicans? At the very least make it even harder for democrats to pass stuff.Add South Dakota to that. that makes 5 pretty good for sure pick ups for republicans with another possible one in Louisiana.
OMG, it is only mid Feb, primaries haven't been held, it is a little to soon to be paying much attention to the polls, which, btw, are only as good as the day they are taken.

Natalie, I totally disagree with you: I think he is a maverick. Yes, he cares about his political future, good for him, but he also was raised in a family that hated Castro. Many of the old Cubans are extremely conservative. I am not saying I agree with him or even support him, but I do think he believes what he is preaching. You have to give him credit for that. Why do you think he doesn't care about what he is pushing? Is it because you don't like him or because you don't believe any Republican can believe what the say? I think Rand Paul is another maverick.

Maverick? Or just a real Conservative, not just playing one on TV.

Sadly, not true, both houses would need a 2/3 vote to override.
